Scared

You ask me what I'm scared of
Well here is my reply:

I'm scared of the feelings that I have
They're much too strong too fast.
I'm fearful of the future of them
Scared that they won't last.

I'm terrified of the love I feel
Sure that it will pass.
No one ever falls in love to stay
When they fall so fast

I'm uncertain of the look
I see reflected in your eyes.
Certain that if I turn away
It will turn out to be lies.

I'm petrified to let you in
To the center of my heart.
Positive that once you're in
You will tear my world apart.

I'm too nervous to tell you
What I feel deep inside.
Knowing that once I do
You'll run away and hide.

But most of all, what scares me
Is that you will leave.
And once again I'll be alone
And have an eternity to grieve.
